Project brief: Create an open plan living dining area without compromising on garden space. Additionally the client wanted to add a downstairs wc, add additional storage and resolve the issue of head height under the stairs as well as install an intelligent home audio and visual system. To be able to start works quickly the design complied with permitted development.

The result: A fabulous reconfigured ground floor created a home with flexible living space. The use of 3 sets of bi-fold doors to the ground floor allowed for entertaining space in the summer. A dropped floor in the living room created impressive ceiling heights and allowed for a more natural floor from the living room to the kitchen. Full height doors created a grand entrance to the living room. The combination of glass risers and oak treads created a light and airy staircase with interesting glimpses through into different parts of the house.
